अहंकारविकारेण ममतामलहेलया ।
इदं ममेति भावेन चेतो गच्छति पीनताम् ॥ ५८ ॥

ahaṃkāravikāreṇa mamatāmalahelayā |
idaṃ mameti bhāvena ceto gacchati pīnatām || 58 ||

The passions and feelings also are often the causes, of the solidity and stolidity of the mind; and these are its egotism and selfishness, gaiety and impurity of thoughts, and its changing tempers and affections. But most of all it is the sense of meity that this is mine, that nourishes it to gross density.
